President Obama said on Tuesday the FBI is investigating the Boston Marathon bombings as an “act of terrorism,” but authorities don’t know who did it or why.

“This was a heinous and cowardly act,” Obama said at the White House.

Obama, who had held off using the term “terrorism” in brief remarks on Monday night, spoke after being briefed by FBI Director Robert Mueller and other law enforcement officials.

“Any time bombs are used to target civilians, it is an act of terror,” Obama said from the White House briefing room.
